Alek Manoah (finger) activated from IL
Manoah makes his return after struggling in his latest rehab outing. It is unclear what role he'll be stepping into.
www.fantasypros.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reports.
- Alek Manoah has been in the news this year for a rough professional path, including time on the injured list and changes in teams. Some outlets noted he was involved in waivers/roster moves with a major league club in 2025 and subsequently faced further rotations and rehab assignments in 2026.[2][3][4]
- In 2026, there were updates indicating he returned from injury and was optioned to a minor league assignment as part of roster management, with discussions about his role for the big league club later in the season.[3][8]
- Meanwhile, other outlets continued to monitor his status, including injury updates and potential waivers or claims as teams adjusted their pitching depth.[5][7][9]
If you’d like, I can pull the very latest single-source update or summarize the current team status, contract/roster moves, and injury timeline in a compact timeline. Also, tell me if you want me to filter to a specific league (MLB) or country.
